Answers:
If they're dry-clean-only, then I'd take them to a really good dry cleaners to see if they can help with them. If you don't know which cleaner to choose, call your local tuxedo rental place, they might be able to offer a recommendation. They might even have an alterations person who might be able to help with the jackets themselves.
All the American Eagle blazers I could find look to be casual wear, and if they're not lined, and it says you can wash them and dry them, you should be able to press them with an iron to get them in proper shape. Or try wetting them down again and drying them until they're almost dry, then getting them out or the dryer and hanging them, then the areas that need to be pressed will be fewer. Hope this helps!
Blazers are usually a dry-clean only item, just like most suits. It might be time to get new blazers.
Maybe take them to a professional dry cleaner and see what they can do with them. I'm not familiar with this blazer, so I don't know if you are supposed to wash them. Did you follow the washing instructions on the labels? I think the best bet is to ask a professional for help. Don't take them to one of those $1/shirt dry cleaners, either because they just make problems worse. Take them to a good dry cleaner with a good reputation, usually the ones that do tailoring are a little better.
Although they should probably have been dry cleaned you may not have ruined them completely. They might just need a good press.
Take them to a dry cleaner and ask them can they be brought back to life. They'll give you a simple yes or no answer.
I hope they can be put right.
It could be that you damaged the blazers permanently. Look at the care tags and see if you made a big mistake. Next, take them to a good dry cleaners and ask if they can do anything. Professional help is probably the best idea for your problem. In the future, check your care labels for instructions.
Put them In the washing machine on rinse, let the cycle finish and spin out. Them put them inthe dryer with a dryer sheet and dry for about 5 minutes or untill they get warmed up (this gets wrinkles out) Then take them out smooth them out and hang to dry. It can't hurt. Try Ironing them too.
You silly man. Why would you wash blazers in your home washer? If you look on the instructions, it probably says to dry clean these items. If you're wondering why it says dry clean, you've just found out the hard way.
A professional dry cleaner may be able to salvage them, but it is doubtful.
